Follow usBarcelona is on the verge of withdrawing from the Super League project, “Kaderan Ser” reported. President Joan Laporta is expected to announce this during today’s press conference, which is generally called as an explanation for the Negreira case.
The Catalans, along with Real Madrid and Juventus, alone continued to fight for the realization of the ambitious plan for the creation of a championship rivaling the Champions League, in which only the most popular European clubs would play. However, they clashed with UEFA and FIFA, eventually going to court.
More than that, Barcelona have serious problems due to their financial instability, which is why they will probably hope for leniency from the European headquarters next summer – especially since the club tried to get back Lionel Messi.
What will happen to the entire Super League project at all depends on the upcoming decision of the Court of Justice of the European Union. After the original attempt to create the tournament was thwarted under pressure from FIFA and UEFA, the Super League filed lawsuits against the two organizations in a court in Madrid.
